Sam Adams Recall

From the Boston Herald:

The Boston Beer Co. issued the recall following what it called routine quality-control inspections that revealed defects in some bottles used at its Cincinnati brewery. The bottles, manufactured by an unnamed third-party supplier, “might cause small bits of glass to break off and possibly fall into the bottle.”

The Boston-based company said it so far has not received any reports of consumer injuries related to the bottles, which are embossed with the letter “N,” followed by the number “35” and the letters “OI”.

This is a rough situation for any company, but I'm glad to see them taking proactive measures to correct it. This is breaking news that hadn't even reached the distributor yet, but when I find out more I'll be sure to post it. In the meantime Boston Beer Company has urged consumers to call Boston Beer at 1-888-674-5159 for more information or access its recall Web site at http://consumerinfo.samadams.com
